Joey and Dragon Graduate

Today was the day Dragon’s brother Joey graduated from Nursing School. And yes, Dragon wanted to be there, it was, really, going to be Sooo Cool! Parents and students gussied up in all their finery, a sight truly to behold. The University never, truly, looked better, as future dreams began to unfold. And Joey gave Dragon, the best-est thing ever, his very own, special invite. Now, we all know how things go amok, when Dragon is allowed on the site. Every-thing was truly prepared, or so they thought, as Dragon sallied forth. His own fire retardant Cap, Gown, and tassel to be immortalized, henceforth. He was a part of the ceremony, to light their candles, in a symbolic gesture… Before to the world, they, go forth, Why Dragon? Cause he’s such a treasure. Yes, He’d receive an Honorary Degree, for all the lives, from fires, he’d saved. Grandpa Troll was on the College Board of Directors, we were all amazed! Apparently, Grandpa Troll had donated, a burn ward to the local Hospital… Where our son Joey, would work, jump-starting his career, just a wee, little. All the people Dragon had saved from fires, would be there to sing their praise. As Joey wanted to dedicate his Nursing Career to burn patients, all his days. It’s amazing how lives change, when strangers, are first allowed, into our lives. And the Carpenter Trolls signed up for College, Architecture, was their drive. Such determination, from a little Dragon egg, that was brought into our lives. It brought so much purpose, to so many, when he chose, one morning to arrive. Dragon roared out his glee and fire, sigh, as a surprise degree, was given to him! All agreed no one needed the curtains, podium, or stage, as all sang, their hymn! Hundreds of ready fire extinguishers, came into view, a new tradition was formed. 3 new degrees, came to the College curriculum, as thankfully, no one was harmed. What three new degrees were added, you ask? Fire fighting, Burn Units Nursing, Plus a Psychology Degree of “what change can do for your lives, if you let it in”. Yeah, we’re all nuts! But very innovative, as our son, suggested, the new degrees. Then he and Dragon led the hat toss, before leading all, out the door, to be free… Written celebrating Joeys Nursing College Graduation. 5-15-2016 For Contest: Not written for any contest... Contest
